About Magic Masala
Tucked into the Opawa area, Magic Masala serves Indian food to locals and visitors in Opawa, Christchurch. From the Christchurch city centre it is roughly 3.4 km away – a short drive, bus or bike ride.
Diners come here for Indian food. If it is your first visit, look out for classics of the style such as samosa. With 69 Indian options across Christchurch, this corner of the local food scene is well covered.
You can visit any day of the week – Magic Masala opens daily. The earliest start is noon on Mondays, and the latest finish is 9:30 pm on Mondays. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 47 hours each week.
As a rough guide, expect to spend about $20–$40 a head at a Indian restaurant like this. It is surrounded by other eateries: we count 5 more venues within about 1 km, which makes this part of Opawa easy to explore on foot.
